Wow this is a game changer. PhD scholarships and postdoctoral fellowships are now open to non-Canadians.

Pre-exposure to stress reduces loss of community and genetic diversity following severe environmental disturbance Xu et al. show that pre-exposure to acid stress can protect communities from loss of species and genetic diversity caused by future severe acidification. Their study demonstrates the importance of sim...

Big thanks to @bjesseshapiro.bsky.social, @trixiebb.bsky.social, and all the other co-authors!

Proactively exposing ecosystems to mild environmental stressors appears to offer protection, study finds Mild, proactive exposure to environmental stress can help biological communities resist severe disturbances and maintain genetic diversity, a recent study from McGill University has found. Led by Prof...

Finally published the last chapter of my PhD thesis recently!
